Nourish Winter Skin Winter weather puts environmental stress on

the skin, not just from the cold but from your own sweat under your hat and the dry air of home and office heating systems as well. These harsh conditions suck moisture out of the skin at an amazing rate, leaving your dermis dehydrated.

Hair, too, needs extra TLC to replenish moisture that’s lost.

Dry, itchy scalp can be soothed with a vigorous massage during shampooing. A good brushing with a paddle brush helps stimulate sebaceous glands to bring much-needed natural moisture back to the scalp and hair while loosening and removing flakes. Aveda’s Scalp Benefits Balancing Shampoo and Conditioner will balance either an overactive or underactive sebaceous system.

For all-over skin care, hydration during the winter months will help maintain the elasticity of your skin. Simple care will help keep that important balance. Here’s a great tip: if you take hot showers, don’t fully dry-off your body.

Instead, leave some water on your skin and apply a moisturizer such as Aveda Beautifying Composition Oil and Replenishing Lotion. This will lock-in moisture and keep your skin smooth and dewy throughout the day.

For your hands and feet give yourself a treat by swaddling them with a hot towel. Use with Aveda Hand and Foot Relief for the ultimate relaxing experience. Always carry travel sizes in your handbag or your car for that extra moisturizing treatment!

BODY BEAUTIFUL - By Bob Nystrom

WHY DO YOU CRYO?

ryotherapy is a fast, effective, non-invasive cooling treatment that can aid in a number of unfavorable physical conditions. It has been shown to minimize inflammation in body tissue, muscles and joints as well as reduce swelling due to injury. It has many proven health benefits and would be suitable for anyone seeking muscle recovery and repair, treatment of an injury, weight loss or skin rejuvenation.

Applying something cold to an injury or ache has been an accepted medical treatment for centuries. In fact, localized Cryotherapy dates to the 1600s, with the Greek term “cryo” meaning “cold,” and “therapy” meaning “cure.”

However, it wasn’t until the 1970s that whole body Cryotherapy was introduced in Japan, primarily as a way to treat rheumatoid arthritis.

Doctors noticed that by rapidly cooling the surface of the skin, joint pain and soreness decreased.

A cryotherapy session only lasts for 1 to 3 quick minutes, but gives you long-lasting health benefits. After your cryotherapy session, you will feel rejuvenated and energized!

Since cryotherapy minimizes

inflammation and starts the detoxification process, you may experience mild flu-like symptoms one to two days after your treatment. This is normal and is an indication that your body is releasing toxins and inflammation. Drink lots of water to continue to aid the detoxification process.

You will also experience a better and deeper sleep the night of your cryotherapy session, along with increased agility and a reduction in pain. Your endorphins will kick in and your mood will be great!

There are many benefits that have been associated with cryotherapy when used for health, beauty, weight management, fitness and overall wellness, including: • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •

Reduction of tissue inflammation Improved circulation Relief of pain from rheumatoid diseases and fibromyalgia Improved post-surgery healing and recovery Elevated physical and mental well-being Reduction in stress, anxiety, insomnia, fatigue and insomnia Lowered risk of cold and flu Improved injury recovery time Pain relief in joints and muscles Increased energy Released endorphins Enhanced training performance Increased testosterone levels in men Increased skin collagen for elasticity and smoothness Diminished overall skin aging, fine lines and wrinkles Reduced acne and skin blemishes and psoriasis Accelerated metabolism which promotes weight loss Hormone balance Minimized cellulite Burns up to 800 calories

If you are interested in f inding out more about the many benef its of cryotherapy, please visit our website at www.BodyBeautifulLI.com or call us at 631-385-4500.

Permeable

A Driveway Pavement The Sustainable Way To “Think Green” And Curb Pollution

W

ater pollutants can reveal themselves in several ways.

In rural areas, rain and snow landing on farmland carries fertilizers with them to local sewers and, in due course, our waterways. In urban neighborhoods, which can add up to a large percentage of a community, pavements are the main source of pollution from the water run-off. And what does in fact, reduce run-off pollution, is the very concept behind the installation of a permeable paver system, which is gaining in popularity with commercial developers, municipalities and now, homeowners.

“When pavers are installed, they have small gaps between them,” said David Smith, technical director of the Interlocking Concrete Pavement Institute. “Because they have the spaces in them, they can store water. Instead of water running off, it gets infiltrated.” On the contrary, asphalt and poured concrete don’t absorb water. Specially designed permeable pavements with small, stone-filled joints between the pavers, allow water to flow into highly porous, open-graded bedding into the base material below where it is filtered.

Respondents to a 2016 Residential Landscape Architects Trends Survey showed a 77% consumer demand for outdoor spaces that are environmentally sustainable, reduce water costs and are low maintenance.

Permeable paved areas are not for everyone, but knowledge regarding these types of solution-based, natural products is good for all of us.

Think “Green” — Choose the proper material and a responsible professional

Cambridge, manufacturers of interlocking concrete pavement systems with ArmorTec®, lists several permeable options among the company’s paver products. And let it be known that an earthfriendly driveway need not spare stylish curb appeal. For example, with a Cambridge Ledgestone Permeable 3-Pc. Design Kit in your contractor’s remedy plan, you’ll have three modular shapes for random placement, eight natural stone colors from which to make a selection, and handsome clefts cast from real bluestone molds.

Combined with economical benef its over a 30-year, potential lifecycle, the result is a win-win for everyone. The Cambridge Research and Development Team also found inspiration from European cities when designing the durable and sustainable Belgium 5-Pc. Design Kit, which also offers adaptability as a “green” solution.

Cambridge offers certif ications as part of workshop-style, educational programs in cooperation with the Interlocking Concrete Pavement Institute. Contractors, who have earned Cambridge Certif ications, have taken the appropriate courses, passed an exam, and submitted required f ield experience requirements. After which, they can use associated acronyms after their names and professional titles — CCPI equals Certif ied Concrete Paver Installer and PICPS stands for Permeable Interlocking Pavement Specialist. Certif ications can help assure homeowners optimum results when installing eco-friendly pavement driveways in the same way that commercial architects, developers and specif iers look to protect their investments and make positive environmental contributions.

Professional installers are only too willing to present their certif ications to prospective customers. Your best f irst step may be to bring your problematic, run-off condition to any authorized Cambridge distributor. Go to cambridgepavers.com to f ind the locations nearest to you.

Charles H. Gamarekian is the Chairman/ CEO of Cambridge Pavers Inc., manufacturers of Cambridge Pavingstones with ArmorTec®. He is one of the founders and a current board member of the Interlocking Pavement Institute. Mr. Gamarekian is recognized worldwide as an expert in his field and is a frequent speaker on the topic of proper installation of pavingstones and wallstones as well as on the many rewards of Outdoor Lifestyling™ with Cambridge products and outdoor living room components through numerous public, print and broadcast media venues.
